Aloha! How strange is
that coming from the Atlantic Region? Luau is the theme of the off-site
social to be held Thursday, June 23 at Auletto's in Almoesson, New Jersey.
Bring your grass skirt, Polynesian shirt, or muumuu and be ready for some
great entertainment and group participation. There will be a contest for
the most unusual outfit. The Wai Ki Ki Hawaiian Revue will play all types
of music; their Polynesian dancers will entertain you and encourage some
audience participation. The menu will be a buffet (with an Atlantic
flair, but no poi!). A cash bar will be available for purchasing your
favorite libations, along with tropical drinks. Luau Entertainment

The final gathering of the
convention will be an elegant banquet, with the room all "dressed up". We are
asking all the attendees to do the same. No shorts or sneakers, please.
The entertainment will consist of a disc jockey to play your favorite
tunes. In addition, we will have Comedy Impressionist Mike Cabot perform.
His act will have you laughing so hard your sides will ache.
